and another bombshell. san bruno's fire chief admits his crews thought that they last seen wearing a black were indeed responding to a plane crash because as len hooded sweatshirt. ramirez explains his department he weighs about 130 pounds. police still have not found john scott and anyone with even know the pipeline existed. information is asked to please >> reporter: before the explosion most people were call the police. simply unaware of transmission lines in their neighborhoods. we found out today that also >> ann notarangelo in albany. thanks. >> two officers are there right included san bruno's top safety now. >> i'm scared. >> yeah, i know you're scared. officials. >> reporter: the fire chief frantic phone calls from a sent his crews to the scene of school bathroom. why the student was so the san bruno disaster. in a shocker to ntsb terrified that she bypassed the investigators the chief principal and called police. admitted he did not even know >> it would be brown before it such a pipeline existed. would turn clear. >> we did not know there was a living in the bay area you would expect good tap water. why are these people and their transmission line through the pets getting sick? city until after the incident. what we found when we had it >> reporter: when pressed the on issue he also admitted he tested. health food. well, here is your chance to bite back and the only thing never consulted pipeline resources to find out. more stunning than the menu is >> we don't have maps of the pipeline system at any agency on the peninsula. where this restaurant is whether it was a transmission located.

line or not, was there a need an early warning system for your health and this man is the to know. and so we kind of determined first in the bay area to try there was the need to know. it. >> with this new system you don't have to panic. we didn't do that. >> how it works. why doctors say it could mean >> reporter: outside the the difference between life and hearing room he downplayed the impact of not having that death. tonight at 11:00 p.m. information up front even on cbs5. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, though crews thought they were dealing with a plane crash. >> it would have been nice to have knowledge of the pipeline. ultimately though, the response would not have changed. it would have been the same regardless whether we knew it was there or not there. that's what we do. we respond to the emergency. >> reporter: but san bruno's mayor said knowledge is key. >> if we had the knowledge that a 30-inch pipeline is going down the middle of the street and neighbors did too, what do you do with it? better communication with pg&e at that point in time so maybe you speculate that their

communications could have gotten closer. >> reporter: pg&e shared in the blame for lack of awareness. they sent out a survey. they got back less than 20 responses and its safety manager said pipeline information is typically packed in with bills. one ntsb panelist said it often gets mistaken for junk mail. >> what we need to do is tell people if they live within 2000 feet of a transmission line. >> reporter: later pg&e was also criticized for the way it tests all their gas pipelines like the one in san bruno. >> artificially raising the pressure in a pipe that has identified integrity seam issues seems to be a wrongheaded approach to safety. >> reporter: obviously because of the pipeline explosion pipeline safety is top of mind. congresswoman jackie spear has legislation that would require people all over the country now living within 2000 feet of a

gas transmission line to be notified of the pipeline's existence and she doesn't just want it packed into a bill she wants it in bold letters on the front of the envelope. a student makes a frantic >> all right. len ramirez, thank you. 911 call while hiding in her illegal drugs, loan sharking and extortion. school bathroom. this after she says her some of the crimes the feds are teacher's behavior frightened hoping to crack down on by her and her classmates. mark sayre has the 911 call and what the girl says the teacher raiding two bay area car clubs. did. mark. >> reporter: dana, that 911 customers in emeryville saw the call came in here to the police department and tonight we are hearing in that student's own whole operation dubbed kung fu words what allegedly happened panda go on. >> reporter: the club is now barricaded. there are still law enforcement inside her classroom. officers inside. this is a huge operation. >> 911 emergency. >> reporter: the 911 call came state, local, federal officers in at 2:28 p.m. in the afternoon as a scared shutting down this casino. also one in san bruno. as you mentioned there were eighth grade student ran to people gambling inside when the raid went down. tell police about her math here is one of them described teacher's bizarre behavior. >> he is screaming at us. it. >> we were in there playing he is going crazy.

cards after 6:00 p.m. >> reporter: the student said about 50 agents walked in. the teacher had also used swear got two per table. asked us to put our hands on the table. they had a search warrant for words when yelling. she also said she was afraid the teacher would find out what the place. then table per table they start searching people. she was doing. then after that finished they took us one by one into rooms >> but i'm afraid he is going to send somebody to come looking for me. >> reporter: then this and ran our i. ds and let us exchange. >> are you crying? >> yes, i am. >> don't worry about it. go. >> reporter: for most of the okay. everything is going to be fine. morning agents went in and out we are there to help you. of the casino. two officers are there right fbi, irs, emeryville pd, now. >> i'm scared. oakland pd. >> reporter: the first same scene at the artichoke responding officer arrived within minutes and found joe's casino in san bruno where nothing out of the ordinary. you can add the san bruno pd >> he didn't find exactly what you thought he was going to into the mix. the state department of justice find in the classroom. what he found was calm says the operation was called students. a calm teacher sitting on the desk. >> reporter: but now the district has put the teacher on kung fu panda. agents on the scene did not paid administrative leave while want to say what was going on. this incident is investigated. >> and i think when you have a >> this is a casino so the assumption is there is some situation where a student makes illegal gambling going on here. an allegation that they feel is that right? >> unfortunately i can't go

into details of the threatened, then we feel a investigation. >> everybody came out with strong obligation to investigate what are the actual hands on their guns and just facts of that case. >> reporter: at the school looking around and we were like, whoa. and then there were probably 70 today volunteer diana estrada says no teacher should ever move furniture or yell in to 80 agents in there. classroom. >> i don't think so. so it was quite scary. >> reporter: the agents that's aggression. and i don't think that's apparently tried to calm the necessary for a teacher to be people who were gambling when the raid went down. doing that because that's not >> it is okay. it is about the casino. the way. >> reporter: but this parent we are searching the casino but feels this whole incident may not you guys. but i was surprised that they be a bit overblown. >> i think that kids sometimes searched us, you know. get scared of the teachers, you they said the fbi requested for know. >> do you think they should call 911 or go to the office? >> first thing i think is go to the office. everyone to be id'ed. >> reporter: the school district tells us that the teacher has been with the district and same school for a calls to casinos in other decade. as part of the investigation district officials are actually cities we found them all open. interviewing not only the teacher in question, dana, but so the casino obviously closed. also the estimated 20 students who were in the classroom at no idea exactly when it will be the time to try to get the reopened again but people have been coming by all day just facts on what really happened trying to figure out what's and why this student was so scared that she called 911. going on. and you might say it is kind of

>> so a teacher with the a tradition gambling according to the website has been going district for a decade, if there were problems prior to this, there should be some accounting on here since 1895. of that. anything like that? >> reporter: the superintendent >> wow. not today. >> reporter: not today. >> simon perez, thank you. in our interview today actually called this teacher and well, schools in one east excellent teacher but due to bay district locked down today the fact this is a personnel because of a student who was issue obviously they won't go into any details on what may be missing. in this particular teacher's happened in the albany unified past. no hint of that today though. school district. ann notarangelo to explain the >> okay. mark sayre. thank you. two women are accused in an unusual response today. >> reporter: well, albany police say they are looking for 16-year-old john scott. they say he believe he has embezzlement scandal at an access to a gun and also ammunition and we have seen reports he went here to elementary school in san jose. detectives identified two women mcgregor high school. an energized scene as class got responsible for spending $50,000 in p.t.o. funds. the money was apparently used out in part because of a two- to buy gifts, clothes and hour lockdown in the albany vacation trips. dozens of people are without a place tonight after school district. the school superintendent is fire tore through their quoted as saying police advised them to take the precautionary measure. john scott was reported missing building. flames erupted just after noon.

from his home about 1:15 a.m. the fire started apparently in this morning. a light well then spread from he may be upset some recent problems. a handgun and ammunition were there. fortunately nobody hurt. taken from the home. the red cross helping those in a news release the burned out of their homes. superintendent says there was rain overnight caused some of those usual problems in some an unsubstantiated report that scott was seen in the city of of the usual places. this is highway 101. lucky drive in marin county. albany. you can see the water. >> we were in lockdown after band. we weren't allowed to go i know, dana, it always floods through the normal exits to get into classes so we went through there, doesn't it? > up. >> and the cars have to plow the emergency exit. >> a police car over there. so they said no one can come in through the ponds. no accidents reported in the or out. but everything was calm. area because of the flooding. it was just like a it wasn't the only place. precautionary measure. >> they fixed that. >> reporter: john scott was they spent thousands to fix that. >> rain, wind. >> some people want me to fix this forecast because there were a few people really angry because they did not get the rain and other people are saying what are you talking about. we have got 2 inches of rain. we will walk you through it. right now take a look at our live cbs5 weather camera. a small craft advisory in

place. 56 and richmond and 64 degrees at moffet hill. activity swimming into san rafael. let's show you where all this is coming from. we had this huge beautiful area of low pressure right there. now watch it one more time. this is very interesting. banks up against the west coast then notice that, it took like this curve up in a northerly direction. and that's why it bypasses southern portion of our district. only a trace of rain in san jose but there you have san rafael where you saw that flooding at lucky drive. nearly 2 full inches of rain in 24 hours. that's a lot of rain in a short amount of time. i thought it would be interesting to see where we are as far as our precipitation and normal stats are concerned. 28 inches of rain in the bucket since july 1st when our rainy season began. 83% in san jose. two tenths off the mark of last year at this time. we are doing okay. tomorrow mostly cloudy.

a scattered shower possible. temperatures into the 40s and 50s overnight with with daytime highs into the 50s and few low 60s. extended forecast does call for, okay, a scattered shower tomorrow. otherwise dry skies saturday. rain arrives. we will keep you posted on that. everybody is wet on sunday then cloudy skies on monday. little bit clearer on tuesday. >> thank you, roberta. a new super food out there but if fried food is more your thing get ready for the bay area's hottest and quickly becoming world famous restaurant. think fried anything. that's in 2 minutes. california should be proud. we were the first to ban smoking on airplanes. the first to have smoke-free bars and restaurants.

all while saving over $86 billion in health care costs... and over a million lives. we've done a good job. but even if you were born today, you'd still grow up in a world where tobacco kills more people... than aids, drugs, alcohol, murder and car crashes... combined. we have a lot more work to do.

those restaurants that we tell you about the p.r. stunts all the time.

some dishes of massive proportions. one new bay area spot has made that type of food its special alt. what's more surprising is where the restaurant set up shop. >> reporter: a new restaurant cooking up what some might consider forbidden food. >> fried cheese pizza. >> yes, sir. only here. >> reporter: the chef at sumo grub won't leave your cholesterol level lacking. not inform artery clogging matter in your macac & cheese. >> reporter: they sent a guy with a heart condition to tell you about. >> it is appealing. you know you shouldn't have it but you want it. >> reporter: sumo grub opened in october and it has been cooking ever since. >> i will have that. >> reporter: the food channel just finished shooting a show

here spotlighting among other things the $45, six feet under challenge. which fries just about everything in the restaurant. >> i have taken every fast food to another level. to a more tastier level. to an asian concoction level. >> reporter: he has been in the business all his life and hopes he hit on a winner here. everything is fried in soya bean oil. not as heavy as you would expect. and gluten free products on the menu as well. it is the fried food getting all the attention. it is not a meal you would want to make a habit of eating. >> how many calories do you think that is? >> if you're going to come from fried dessert you don't think about the calories that go into it. >> reporter: good point. don't ask for a diet soda to drink it down and if they did they would fry it.

mike sugarman, cbs5. some call this food the most healthy thing you can eat. dr. kim mulvihill with the story. >> reporter: what we are talking about is quinoa. light and fluffy seeds when cooked. ancient south america. it is getting popular now thanks to its high nutritional content. >> reporter: move over blueberries, spinach and salmon. >> a lot of people do not know about it quinoa. they pronounce it wrong. >> reporter: they have known about it for years but now it is going main stream and becoming a popular item in chain grocery stores. >> people are catching on. >> reporter: it is a unique complete carb. >> it is a super food. >> reporter: it has the same kind of super charged protein found in meat and eggs but in a

healthier form. >> i think this is great if it has all the proteins in it. >> reporter: loaded with vitamins, minerals and fiber which is especially good for dieters to keep you fuller longer. >> you will love how quickly it cooks. versatile. easy. and it is a staple that your whole family will enjoy. >> reporter: it tastes sort of like a nutty bland rice that takes on the flavor of whatever you mix it with. but one thing. the calories. a quarter cup uncooked contains 270-calories. it is get to add it to the mix. >> better than what mike is eating. >> i think so. hello, mike. >> a quarter cup. >> it is about three times that much when you eat it cooked. >> okay. >> it is a hearty serving. >> a little nutty. quinoa. >> thank you, kim. if there is something people love as much as a hot

new item on the menu, it is a hot new thing from apple. what the relaunch ipad has to offer. we will try to put a dollar figure on it. goodwill wants to set up shop but they are not exactly receiving a gift basket. the bay area community feeling less than charitable to its potentially new neighbor. this local tap water smells like bleach. >> we don't drink it. i don't cook with it. >> so cbs5 put it to the test then tracked down the landlord. coming up next. >> don't touch the camera. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

but in one neighborhood, families we often hear how good the tap water is in the bay area but in one neighborhood families are blaming the water for, their problems. >> we started noticing the sediment, discolored water. >> reporter: it should be cool and refreshing but instead -- >> it would smell like mildew. >> reporter: she is talking about the tap water. >> sometimes the water will smell like sulfur. >> reporter: and what these neighbors describe as a foul

funk. >> it would be brown before it would turn clear. >> reporter: is flowing to each of the six homes here on harvey avenue in hayward. >> more grit and sand. >> reporter: pat noticed the problem shortly after moving in. >> one might have dogs got really sick. >> reporter: then it was the appliances. >> what have you had to replace? >> three washing machines. the showerheads. >> reporter: the exact same problem was playing out right next door. >> we are on our third washer. >> reporter: showerheads -- >> they are also failing. breaking at the neck. >> reporter: for her it was a final bath she ran for her 2- year-old twins. >> it was yellow. it had a very overwhelming smell of chlorox. >> that is potent. >> she says her has been getting sick a lot too so she complained to the landlord but that went nowhere. >> all he would say is the water is good. it is good to drink. it is good to bathe in. >> reporter: so the desperate

mom turned to the city of hayward but -- >> they told me they couldn't do anything for me. >> reporter: and there is a reason why. the tap water in these homes isn't coming from the city, it's coming from right behind pat rose's house. >> when i went back there and saw what i saw, i just couldn't believe it. >> reporter: but there it was. inside a shack. a well. and on this makeshift shelf in the shack a row of empty bleach bottles. >> they put like a cup or so every month or something. >> reporter: chlorox poured straight into the well. >> anybody that moves into a residential area think they are getting city water. >> reporter: four other families also complained about smelly water but none would come on camera fearing retaliation. >> there will be retaliation. >> you think so? >> i know so.

>> reporter: it turns out that their reputation has a reputation for doing just that. here at the alameda courthouse we found more than 200 lawsuits with the landlord richard thomas' name on them and tenants suing him for everything for trashy living conditions and for not returning the security deposit and thomas has done a good job of filling these rows counter suing for almost everything under the sun. >> reporter: since these renters were getting nowhere they asked cbs5 to help. using a sterilized kit we took samples from tap water in both homes. the water in katrina came back positive for bacteria. >> fortunately you brought it to our attention. >> it is contaminated. >> reporter: as for those bottles of bleach, what's the

risks. > >> skin irritations. mucous membranes. eyes. >> reporter: saying it is up to the owner to make sure the well water is healthy and the county is supposed to police that. but he now admits it has been a low priority. >> there seems to be no involvement from the city. none from the state. and from what you're telling me there is no remediation by the county. >> right. >> reporter: so we paid a visit to the owner richard thomas. >> i'm robert lyles with cbs5 news. >> reporter: thomas refused to answer any of our calls so we came unannounced. >> i'm not taking this on t.v. >> no. >> i'm not going to do that but i will speak with you. >> okay. >> reporter: he claimed he had evidence the well was recently tested. >> i wanted to give you the full flavor of all of the documents. >> reporter: so he asked that we wait. so we waited. and waited. but when thomas returned he was empty handed. >> we started this conversation

with you saying you had documentation you were going to give me. >> i understand that. >> now we come to you have no documentation. >> at this point i will ask you to leave. >> please don't touch the camera. >> we have to say goodbye. >> reporter: it is his renters who can't shut off the tainted water. >> people should be warned. people have children that move in here. >> i feel this man is poisoning my family. >> reporter: robert lyles, cbs5. public defenders say they have it on tape. police officers breaking the rules during two separate busts. phil matier shows us the video that has prompted accusations of police misconduct and perjury. >> reporter: the story centers around a pair of heroin busts at this south of market hotel. a known hot spot for drugs. in both instances what police put in their reports and what was caught on tape by the hotel surveillance camera tell two different stories. in the first case police claim they knocked on the door. got a woman to come out and give them permission to go in

without a warrant. where they found 65 grams of heroin. a surveillance camera down the hall, however, shows the cops didn't talk to anyone before going in but instead used a master key to go in without a warrant and without permission. in the second case police claim they encountered a woman who lived in the apartment in the hallway and that they got her to give permission to go in. they found 16 grams of heroin in this case. the video, however, had the cops going up to the door with the woman then one of the cops comes back and blocks the camera. >> we are talking about violations of constitutional rights. and officers who lie about violating these rights. >> all the video as well as the reports. and we are looking into it. >> we are asking for a complete investigation. perjury is a crime. it is a felony. so is filing a false police

report. and we believe that this is indicative of the conduct that is occurring and that there needs to be accountability. >> i did not know about it. we are just getting the information and we are going to work with it. >> it calls into question what are they doing out there? >> i can clearly say that most of the police officers in san francisco do a professional job all the time. we are going to look into this case and see what happened in this particular case. >> the district attorney saying he is also going to launch an investigation but there are questions about those investigations and it is going to be tricky. one, george gascon is the district attorney and was the police chief when this happened. normally in a case like that you boot it up to the attorney general and have them take a look at it. but in this case the attorney general is carmela harris who was the district attorney when these busts went down. is it going to be a big scandal? remains to be seen. but those officers on camera,

one of them that covered up the video is going to have a tough time testifying in future case when it regards search warrants. i don't know if it will raise to the level of the drug lab scandal which resulted in 700 cases being tossed but this one is not one that the new d.a., the new police chief or those guys down there want to see but it is on video. >> handle it with kid gloves. >> we will have more at 11:00 p.m. >> phil, thank you. two new arrests tonight in the murder of a man at a north beach jewelry store. apparently authorities have charged a homeless woman with homicide. she and a second person also faced burglary charges. the victim reportedly a man in his 70s who lived alone believed to be the store's owner. a police officer discovered the body tuesday while checking up on the victim's well being. i'm juliette goodrich live in berkeley where merchants in this upscale neighborhood are saying no way to goodwill.

against a major non-profit. some business owners aren"t feeling any "good will" toward a pote a battle brewing in berkeley tonight. some business owners aren't feeling any goodwill towards a potential new neighborhood. juliette goodrich joining us to explain. >> reporter: allen, that neighbor happens to be goodwill, the thrift store. a lot of merchants along this trendy street in berkeley where there are boutiques and coffee shops say a goodwill business is going to bring bad business. >> no matter what happens in berkeley somebody has a concern. >> reporter: and this time it is over a goodwill moving in.

ed forkham owns the rose bud gallery on solano avenue. his take on the thrift store. >> there is no goodwill with good will in this neighborhood. >> reporter: he believes it will be a magnet for the homeless, excess trash and noisy delivery trucks. >> they came to look at a location and didn't like the frontage of it. >> reporter: allen cain is with the solano avenue association and says merchants need to recognize goodwill can actually be a good thing. >> there is a lot of turmoil out there. no one seems to have the right answers. whenever you mention goodwill's name there is this natural weird feeling about it and i think it is a matter of educating the people and businesses on solano avenue. >> reporter: many merchants already have a petition circulating to keep goodwill from moving into a vacant lot. formerly a video store.

long time residents have other are ideas for the space. >> a zachery's or pete's. >> reporter: they are filled with vacancies today like the oaks theater. they welcome any kind of foot traffic. these boston tourists were under the impression berkeley was all about reuse. >> because test cheap and really affordable and we don't have a lot of money so it is great to buy. >> i like supporting recycling clothing. i think that's a good cause especially at this point this time. >> reporter: so as it stands there is a 5000 square foot building behind me that's vacant. goodwill has not signed a lease. if there are a number of complaints the city will have to review it to decide if goodwill can actually move in or not, allen. right now that business is up for grabs. some high end places there are two goodwill shops. >> to some folks it is cool to

shop goodwill. >> absolutely. steve jobs was back on the job today for the unveiling of apple's new ipod. jobs walked on stage to a standing ovation. he looks thin but he was wearing his trademark black mock turtleneck and blue jeans. as for the ipad 2 it is thinner and has a faster processor and two cameras. investors were thrilled to see jobs back on stage after taking an indefinite leave of absence for health reasons. >> perhaps even more anticipated than the unveiling of the ipad 2 was seeing steve jobs walk onto the stage. investors reacted immediately sending apple shares higher by 1% as soon as he strolled onto the stage. jobs is unlike most other ceos in this country. his vision drives the company and investors want to see that
